I am not sure but where the Ferrari break away guys from ATS also not somehow involved in the chassis design of the Miura?

I'm not sure about the Miura, I'd have to look that up. What is sure is that ATS came about after the mysterious bust up at Ferrari that saw some key people leave the company. They included the man behind the 250GTO, Giotto Bizzarrini, and engine man Carlo Chiti. They founded ATS and designed the car above. The company folded after an ill-fated F1 adventure. Bizzarrini later went on to design the 5300 Stradale under his own name powered by some American Iron.

I kept on thinking after my post and I actually believe Bizzarrini was involved in the design of the V12. The ATS F-1 car has recently made some appearences in historic races and there used to be (or still is) one in the Donnington collection.

Lovely and interesting choices but almost totally beside the remit of the thread.

The Bugatti dates from 1936 and the Traction Avant was introduced in 1934. The DS however, does qualify.

One of my favorite classic cars would have to be the Ferrari 250 GTO. It has great looks and a great V12 engine.

Henk4 knows the Abarth 2000 OT! That's something rare! Thought nobody else knew that car!!! It is awesome! I heard they made only 5 of them, but don't know much more about the project...

I own the very original 67 Fiat 850 Coupe, so it's obvious I had to love the 2000 OT. Do you have any pictures of it??

I like very much the Ford Gt40 MK IV

I also like the Lola T-70 MK III Sbarro Special, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SRL and the Alfa-Romeo Tipo 33-2 Stradale.
